Agree totally Jackie. Information, whether in the form of an advert or not,
is information that could be useful to us.
Cheers

Subject: [access-uk] Advertising on the list
I personally like to see adverts from our community, if you like to describe
it that way, because we all learn. If you don't want to read adverts, then
just delete them. Mo and Steve, in particular, are great contributors
outwith their businesses.
Come on guys, no unpleasantness please, this is a good forum for discussion
on matters accessible technology!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] adertizing on the list
hi all
i understand this is a difficult one about advertising on the list but for
me there should be some leeway with regards to people like mo and steve nut
who sell products for the blind.
you could not get a better service than what these guys provide for us in a
very difficult world of technology and when you think that the rnib do not
sell tvonics or have any input into a blind person being able to use an
accessible tv i think it's great to see mo and steve on this list sometimes
promoting what they sell and do. as i said on an earlier post my mate went
in to the store in leeds to see about the samsung tv's and the sales person
knew nothing about speech at all. for totally blind people like myself i
feel we are getting very much left out and steve and people like mo are a
real help in this sort of thing. it's like the reviews jackie has done on
certain devices again like me with both of us being blind we cannot see
mannuals which are very visual now and also we cannot see screens like a lot
of blind people can so i think we should thank our lucky starts for people
like mo and steve who yes have to run a business to make money but when you
think how we're helped by t hem we should give a bit of leeway hear.
thanks.
